On the jobs front, the unemployment rate for February fell to 4.7% with a strong 235,000 new jobs created. Oil prices have dropped to the $48 level, with local gasoline prices slightly above the $2 level.

On the financial front, my asset levels have once again reached an all-time high for the fourth month in a row, breaking the previous high from February 2017. I have made my final 2016 SEP IRA contribution and my S Corp tax returns are complete. I'm very close to doing the same with my 2016 personal returns and corresponding Roth IRA contribution. As usual, any Federal income tax refund due will be used to purchase up to $5,000 worth of paper Series I savings bonds.

As for the non-financial, we're looking at another potential blizzard starting tomorrow morning. With the mess/damage/power outages this storm may bring, it's hard to believe that Spring officially begins in one week. :(
